Dr Warren Piersol. -
“Piersol said, ‘l’ll- be right

Horst reported He came right
out and gave both colts a shot
for lockjaw
The vet made a second trip
to the farm about a week later
when the twins came down
with colds, but another injec

Milk your cows

Get all the milk you can out of your cows. Chances are they
could be giving more milk than you’re getting now. So feed
’em Pioneer. It helps your cows produce up to their full bred-
in capacity. Because Pioneer makes the feeds with balanced
amino acids for better protein building. Amino acids are the
basic building blocks for all proteins. Balance them and you
get top production and top profits. How do the Pioneer people
know this? They’ve been in the feed business for more than 90
years. Their scientific research has developed feeds formulated
to the genetic capacity of herds in this area. Pioneer builds big
healthy calves that develop into high-production, high-profit
milkers. And when dry cows freshen Pioneer gives them all the
nutrients they need for producing more milk than before. Let
us show you how you can milk your cows for all they’re worth.
Come in or call soon.
